EEMOTAL.
The Office of the "COJVn
BIA DEMOCRAT" is rchkoVcd
to the Building ad joining W.
Bof)ison's Stage Office. IjAW
Office next door.
70ur readers will perceive from the
advertisement of the Sheriff", that a County
Treasurer will be elected on the second
Tuesday of October next, agreeably to a
jato'act of Assembly for Columbia county.
Wo liave heard no person mentioned for
this office; and all wo hope is that a good
accountant and genuine Democrat may be
put injfnomination by our County coiivcn
tionvV'i . .
'ICpCofrouEss meets on the 4th of next
month; and after receiving the President's
Message, which will bb delivered on the
day following, we shall be better able to
anticipate what measures will be adopted
by- the general government to obviate the
cVisting pressure.
IjGTWe arc authorized to state that any
reports, now in circulation relative to any
'change in the political principles of John
FRtotT, Esqi are without foundation, and
oVily invented by his enemies to prevent his
election to the office of Sheriff". Tic is, as
4ie always has been, a genuine Democratic
Republican; and in soliciting the suffrages
of all voters for sheriff", he feels no inclina
tiomto' sacrifice his political principles or
abandon his party.
' Certain rumors arc afloat respecting the
officialconduct of John Fruit, Esq. while
Treasurer of this County; and, a garbled
"statement of his transactions will appear in
the ''Danville Intelligencer" of this weeji.
Wcare authorized to say that the matter
wlUTbe fully explained by the present Trea
surcr'Hugh McWilliams, Esq., and that
Mr. Fruit will be entirely freed from any
censure on account of the performance ol
his duties as Treasurer of Columbia coun
tyi Our readers may look for this expla
nation'in our next; and however much such
late and malicious publications are calcula
ted to operate Upon the Delegate elections,
we dariliniy rely upon the integrity of the
Democratic party, who know Mr. Fruit, to
take afirm stand against tlieso Vile attempts
to clefeat his nomination. He is a genu
ine Democrat an honest and rmod citizen
full,of spirit and philanthropy, and sub
ject to ho censure for official misconduct in
anycapacity in which he has served the
Jiublic.

The people arc aware of its political or
vgariization, and they will neither owe nor

MOUNT PLEASANT.
Gen. Jackson's Letteus. The follow
ing explanatory remarks in relation to the
letters of Gen. Jackson, published in anoth
er part ofour paper, arc from the Globe of
Thursday:
General Jackson's Dictation. The Let
ters from General Jackson to the editor of
this paper, recently publishedj have been
the subject of so much calumny and mis
representation, that wo owe it to ourselves
to say a word in reference t'6 the motives
which actuated us in publishing them.-
The'y 'we're introduced iii ati editorial reply
to the charge by Judge White', that Gener
al Jackson was solicitous to 'establish "a
Bank of the U. States, founded tipbn the
money's of the United Stales, and attached
to the Treasury Department." The ad
dress containing these charges was publish
ed by Judge White, simultaneously at
Memphis and Knoxville, the two extremes
of the State of Tennessee, both a long dis
tance fr'Om the residence of General Jack
son. The bbj'c'ci of publishing it at these
extremo points, was, .to act upon the ap
proaching election, before General Jackson
could have time to refute its calumnies and
falsehoods. In exhibiting this bug-bear of
a national uanlc, it was the object ol Judge
White to subserve the interests ol the Bank
of the United States. The editor of this
paper felt it to be due to General Jackson's
tame that his letters should be published, to
disabuse the public mmu Iroin the false
hoods ol Judge White. JNo other motive
could have balled forth these letters from
their privacy. No man cah read them
without being convinced that General
Jackson is Opposed to a national batik, bf
any and every description, and that the
charges ol Judge White are utterly lalse
and calumnious.
Wo trust our democartic cotcmporaries
will do us thejustice to republish the above
statement.
From the JVcst. The many butrages
committed dally by bands of organized ruf
fians, appeal loudly upon the citizens of
Louisville to do something ellcctual lor
their prevention. fSightbclorc last, a hack
driver in the employment ol' Mr. Leach,
while passing along Hear Grass creek, was
knocked down, and left for dead after the
attempt had been made to throw him into
the creek. ManV other similar acts have
been committed. Yesterday, wc under
stand, a man was knocked down and prob-
ibly killed by n rbbbcrs It si'ems not
probable, however, that sikh a deed could
have been perpetrated in the open dav,
